Task Scheduler won't start

Hi,
My task scheduler service won't start under XPsp2. It returns a "file
not found" error code 2. I ran an sfc /scannow and it prompted me for
the CD to copy some DLL files (didn't say which) but it still doesn't
start. What else to try?
Thanks

Hi Jim,

See if this helps,

Navigate to "c:\windows\inf" folder. The inf folder is a hidden folder,
you /may/ need to unhide folder and files in Folder Options to view the
INF folder.

Locate and right-click "mstask.inf" to select install.

Good luck.

Great idea, thanks, that worked after prompting me for the CD again to
get mstask.dll.
